How to pair airpods to Play Station 4?

Step 1 : HARDWARE SET UP

Plug the usb dongle into the supplied usb cord and connect both to your PS4 it will recognize under settings devices > audio devices > input and output both as “usb headset (avantree leaf)”

Step 2: PAIRING APPLE AIRPODS

“PAIR” the Avantree dongle to Apple AirPods by first Placing the dongle in “PAIR MODE” by holding the button on the dongle for 2 seconds. Next MAKE SURE APPLE AIRPODS ARE IN THE CASE AND THE LID IS OPEN press the button on the back of the CASE and hold it until its in “pair mode” while close proximity to the dongle and it should connect automatically.

You will know its connected when the light inside the AIRPOD CASE Turns ORANGE AND the Light on the AVANTREE DONGLE pulsates BLUE.

DO NOT Use the playstation bluetooth set up to find AIRPODS *

If you have any issues try to make sure you dont have any other audio devices like Bluetooth speakers in discovery mode while pairing

Step 3: TESTING AUDIO

Remove airpods from case and place them in your ears. Airpods will make a CHIME SOUND in both ears to let you know its they are connected to test the sound on your playtion 4 controller hold the PS BUTTON FOR THE QUICK MENU Under SOUND DEVICES scroll down to “OUTPUT TO HEAD” and switch it to “ALL AUDIO (this is just to test you DO NOT HAVE TO STAY IN THIS MODE)” if you can hear system sounds and game sounds you are all set up!

Step 4: VOICE CHAT

To voice chat in a party or in game you need to enable “TALK MODE” on the AVANTREE dongle DOUBLE CLICK the button on the side. The light on the dongle should now STAY SOLID WHITE! Doing this will enable the microphone on the apple airpods for voice chatting.

To MUTE voice just DOUBLE TAP apple airpod while in your ears (note doing this takes AVANTREE dongle out of “TALK MODE” DOUBLE TAP the button to enable the microphone agin)**

Pressing the side button on the Avantree dongle ONCE reconnects airpods if disconnected

That is it! Enjoy.

p.s Since you cannot adjust volumn from AirPods, you can only adjust the volume on the gamepad when using PS4 and airpod.
